I made it. I’ve started my Magento video series where I am planning to share my knowledge about Magento 2. Please welcome my new Magento DevChannel Youtube channel.

It took me a year after I promised to start Video Blog back in January 2016 and actually made it in February 2017. In the first video, I show How to Install Magento 2 with Sample Data via Command Line. We go through a set of commands required to download, install and configure Magento 2 on a local environment.

As this is my first Magento tutorial video I am expecting feedback from you guys to adjust myself and the way I record the video for the future. Leave the comments below or email me. Enjoy watching.
